My name is Kirk Warren and I’m a full time comic fan blowing my pay cheques on way too many comics every week.
Back in the early 90's, my mother bought me a Spider-Man comic to shut me up on a trip. I didn’t know it at the time, but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full blown comic fan and now purchase well in excess of 20 comics per month plus trades and other comic related goods.
As you can see, I've taken my hobby to the next step with this blog and it's allowed me to connect every single day with thousands of people that share the same passion I have for comics and I wouldn't change that for the world.

This is more of a badly written scene than a bad scene. There's a good moment to be had here, a decent scene of Spidey managing to save the day not with heroics but simply by virtue of being Spider-Man. Michelinie messes it up badly.
Scene is really out of context, since the lady (and most of New York) in question is under a wave of paranoia and psicosis triggered by Carnage's proximity to the villain Shriek... I remember "Maximum Carnage", a truly fun event back in the day.
David Michelinie's ASM run reminds me of Bendis' Avegers. The dialog is atrocious, and his storytelling is awful, but people kept buying it so he got to be on the book for close to a decade, with some fantastic artists.
Didn't have to see the writer credit to know who did the script. Wow.
And just like real life, she walks with no charge.
Those kids have really small heads.
Anonymous #2: in context or not, this scene isn't the same as the others we see in that issue, where the heroes stop looters from breaking into stores or stopping muggings on the street. What happens when the kids start crying again? She'll be back on the roof!
